The biggest tiger of Cao Wei in the Three Kingdoms was not Sima Yi, but this person, and Cao Cao Andi did not dare to move him
Cao Cao had eight tiger riders under his command, namely Xu Yu, Zhang Liao, Le Jin, Li Dian, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Yuan, and Xiahou Huan. There is also a strategist "Tsukasa Tiger" Sima Yi, among these nine big tigers, many people think that Sima Yi is the most powerful, but you are wrong. The most powerful one should be Cao Hong, because neither Cao Cao nor Cao Pi dared to kill him. Perhaps you will be curious, there are still people in this world that Cao Cao does not dare to kill. Indeed, Cao Hong is not only a descendant of the Cao family, but also a savior of Cao Cao, he is also a more powerful existence than Sima Yi, and with him, Sima Yi is obedient.
As a vassal, Cao Hong was richer than his master Cao Cao. Cao Hong, the character is lian. However, he is a misnomer. Not at all incorruptible, but very corrupt. As everyone knows, Cao Cao is a relatively low-key and incorruptible person, and he resolutely opposes corruption. To this end, Cao Cao conducted a social survey every year to check whose family had more money. After investigation, Yu Xian Ling found that Cao Hong's family was the Prince of Fubi, so he reported to Cao Cao. Unexpectedly, Cao Cao actually smiled indifferently and said, my family's money is more than a son of the Lian family. Since the big tiger was found, why not fight it? Cao Cao, such a fierce man with thunderbolt means, actually allowed Cao Hong to exist.
When Cao Pi and Cao Zhi competed for the crown prince, Sima Yi helped Cao Pi a lot, and after Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, he used Sima Yi very much, but Cao Pi only let Sima Yi hold the position of an official, as for the military and political power was not handed over to him, at that time, Cao's relatives and nobles were still alive, these people could fight good battles, naturally it was not Sima Yi's turn, knowing that after Cao Pi's death, Sima Yi ushered in his own spring. After Cao Pi's death, Sima Yi was also one of the auxiliary ministers, and after the Wei Ming Emperor Cao Rui succeeded to the throne, Sima Yi began to be frightened, and many people may feel that sima Yi's most feared person may be Cao Cao, perhaps Cao Pi, both of whom are heroic and strategic, but in fact, Sima Yi's most feared person is Cao Rui, because when Cao Cao and Cao Pi came to power, Sima Yi was not prominent, nor was it reused, and when Cao Rui came to power, it was different.
After Cao Rui succeeded to the throne, most of the Cao clan relatives at that time died, at this time Zhuge Liang had frequent Northern Expeditions, Cao Wei group had no one available, Cao Rui had to appoint Sima Yi, Sima Yi had the opportunity to control the military power at this time, Sima Yi did not live up to expectations, successfully resisted Zhuge Liang's attack, with the greater the merit, sima Yi's status was also higher, his life was more fearful, high authority he was also afraid of high merit and high shock.
The third tiger deserved to be Liu Bei's third brother Zhang Yide. On Meng, Zhang Feizhen was like a black-faced tiger, rushing to kill the generals of the Three Kingdoms. But Zhang Fei, no matter how white-faced Shi Zaiqi is, and no matter how rude and brave he is in the rendition, in short, there is a shortcoming, it seems that Shi Zai and Yanyi have been recognized as showing it, that is, they cannot treat the soldiers well. At this point, this old third is really not as good as his second brother Guan Lao' second. However, it is also very strange, it is said that Zhang Fei is a reader, and he also likes to deal with literati, it is said that this temper should not be too bad, but he is not, once he is angry after drinking and getting drunk, it is indiscriminate to beat up the soldiers. It is indeed too dangerous to do so.
Cao Hong risked his life several times to save Cao Cao, which made Cao Cao very moved, so Cao Cao was very tolerant of Cao Hong. In 218 AD, Cao Hong was celebrating a victorious battle, when he asked women to wear light veils to dance for everyone, which was indeed immoral, and Yang Fu was very dissatisfied with Cao Hong's approach, angrily accusing him of being as absurd as the King of Shang. Although Cao Hong was a rough man, he also understood that Yang Fu's words were for his own good, so he immediately dismissed the singer and invited Yang Fu back. Later, Cao Cao knew about this and did not blame Cao Hong.
When Cao Pi was not yet emperor, he borrowed money from Cao Hong, but Cao Hong refused, and this matter allowed the two to form a bond. Later, when Cao Pi became emperor, he first took Cao Hong's knife, one was because he was corrupt, and killing him could establish his power; the other was to avenge the fact that he did not borrow money that year. However, Cao Pi underestimated Cao Hong's power in the court, and as soon as he imprisoned Cao Hong, the ministers interceded for him.
Cao Rui was also a very talented emperor, at that time Zhuge Liang and Sun Quan had a high opinion of him, and Sima Yi worked under him, naturally did not dare to think differently, in case he was caught with any handle, he would definitely be killed. From the time of Cao Cao, Sima Yi stayed in the Cao Wei clique for more than thirty years, but only after Cao Rui succeeded to the throne did Sima Yi feel frightened. Cao Picai didn't care what these ministers said, he just wouldn't let anyone go. What he did not expect was that the empress dowager also came to intercede for Cao Hong. The empress dowager accused Cao Pi, without Cao Hong to save your father, where did you come from, and now you are going to kill Cao Hong, is it worthy of him? Even so, Cao Pi did not agree to release Cao Hong. The empress dowager had no choice but to threaten Empress Guo, and if Cao Hong died, your empress would not be the empress. When Empress Guo heard this, she immediately went to intercede for Cao Hong, and although Cao Pi was the emperor, he was also a strict wife, so she had to release Cao Hong. With so many people supporting him, no one dared to offend Cao Hong.
The eyebrows were burning, and Sima Yi should be used. As soon as you do something, prestige and status will naturally follow. When Cao Cao died and the Manchu Dynasty was in danger, Sima Yi was mourned, making the inside and outside solemn. Once again, he showed his strength. Cao Cao spent his whole life guarding against Sima Yi, but it was true that talent was rare, and coupled with his profound ability to make Cao Cao mad, there was no chance to make Cao Cao mad, so this pass was also over.
I think how many martial generals were killed because of their high merits, but Cao Hong could live in peace, all because he sacrificed his life to save Cao Cao's good retribution. Cao Cao did not dare to move him because he was a savior, and Cao Pi did not dare to move because he had too many backstage, so it can be seen that among Cao Wei's fierce tigers, Cao Hong was the largest tiger. However, the heavens seem to be very fond of Sima Yi, Cao Rui died after 13 years on the throne, when Cao Fang succeeded to the throne, it was Sima Yi's world, and soon Sima Shi rebelled and seized the power of Cao Wei, if Cao Rui did not die, Sima Yi did not dare to seize power no matter what, perhaps the Three Kingdoms era developed here, destined to be unified, this may be Providence, do you think?
